Hello

I am wondering if anyone can help me?

here is the code I am trying to get to work

<% if session("rn") = request.form("code") then

response.write("match")

else
response.write("no match")
end if %>

Both session("rn") and request.form("code") contain a number, what I am trying to achieve is if the two equal each other then it writes "match" if they dont equal the same then write no match.

My trouble is I never get a match even when I know both session("rn") and request.form("code") contain the same number! I have verified this by writing out them both on screen and can confirm they are the same, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Will

Try wrapping cInt() round the variables to force them as integers. When bringing back from a request form variable, values are generally treated as strings.

<% if cint(session("rn")) = cint(request.form("code")) then

response.write("match")

else
response.write("no match")
end if %>

will work
